There is funding on this "Zero Emission Initiative pilot" program for the next few years...

$3.1 million in 2016,
$5.0 million in 2017,
$4.8 million in 2018,
$5.8 million in 2019,
and $4.9 million in 2020
Total $23.6 million.

MTA will be leasing and operating in service 10 All Electric Buses (AEB).

Very little details right now.

This all electric bus thing is gaining momentum, little by little. Septa bought (25) of them.

I assumed he was talking about SEPTA since that was how the post ended.

Read carefully. He was merely stating that the quality of the vehicles is such that SEPTA bought them.

I agree. MTA couldn't handle the hybrid electrics. Stick to diesel.

Waste of money . The batteries are improving every day. Let other transit authorities work out all the bugs and wait to the prices come down and the tech is more proven
